Question

Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table, facing the center (but not necessarily in the same order). C is sitting to the immediate right of E. D is sitting third to the left of C. A is the immediate neighbour of B and C. F is not the immediate neighbour of E. What is the position of G with respect to A?

• A. Second to the left
• B. Third to the left
• C. Second to the right
• D. To the immediate left

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Third to the left

Key points:

• All are facing the center
  → Right = anticlockwise, Left = clockwise (this is where mistakes usually happen)

---

Step-by-step:

1. Place E

2. C is immediate right of E → since facing center, right = anticlockwise
   So: E → C (anticlockwise)

3. D is third to the left of C → left = clockwise
   From C, move 3 clockwise → D

4. A is neighbour of both B and C
   So A must be next to C, and B on A’s other side

5. F is not neighbour of E

After placing all consistently, the correct circular arrangement gives:

G is third to the LEFT of A

Final Answer: Third to the left
